Hurakan Condor - Port Aventura's Dreadful Drop Tower

Hurakan Condor by the Swiss company Intamin AG is a frightening drop tower which provides the happy customer with a thrilling 3 second free fall ride from a trifling height of about 300 feet or 100 meters. Wanna see how it looks like from the top? Check a Hurakan Condor ride video. There are other famous attractions in Port Aventura like Dragon Khan which were featured here in the past.

how fun! I love the architecture of the thrilling ride! I'm glad to have stumbled upon your blog, I love Barcelona, and will enjoy pictures from that beautiful city! - Amyhttp://dandatraveltheworld.blogspot.com/

Exquisite sepia everything! I'm looking at the carvings in the lower part of the building - so lovely - and the corner sconces (for lack of the architectural term!). I saw the video and it made me dizzy going up. The music playing added to the tension. :)

-Thanks DandainNYC welcome. -GuyD thanks. It needed some retouch. Not that I am proud of it. I like the mighty look as taken from below.-Oh Lydia you always notice minor details. I had two videos. The other was better in quality but I definitely liked the Indian background music. Thanks-Glad you like the sepia tones krims-Hi, thanks for that Twitter link designslinger!

Well I thought it was some ancient tower until I read the text. I'll certainly pass on watching the video. I wouldn't enjoy riding on any fairground ride but such objects do lend themselves to photography.
